Fitting bantam eggs in turner???

[AussieSharon]

The lady at the feedstore gave my son a single bantam egg this AM. He asked her for a horse egg so he can hatch a horse and she thought it was so cute she gave him a bantam egg.... so now of course I have to incubate it.

I have a regular sized egg turner but it won't hold an egg that small. The egg is about the size of a quarter! Is there any way I can rig an egg cup to fit the egg or am I doomed to hand turning?

do you have some of those foam sheets used for crafting? you can cut them to siz to make the egg fit. or maybe cut a egg cup out off a egg carton

Thanks Connie. I'll give it a try!

I put my dutch eggs in butcher paper wax side in so it does not get the egg damp.

Bantam eggs, btw, should fit the Quail egg racks that are available. Your store may have some.
